Roof Re-Pointing in Taylors Lakes and Tile Repair
At Central Roofing And Restoration, we’re not just in the business of roofing—we’re in the business of extending the life of your home. Our recent project in Taylors Lakes, Melbourne, highlights how even modest repairs, when done professionally, can make a big impact on roof longevity and performance.
This job involved a full roof re-point using Flexi Point, along with the replacement of several broken tiles. Though it may sound like a simple task, re-pointing is one of the most crucial maintenance jobs for tiled roofs, particularly in Melbourne’s varied climate.
Why Re-Pointing Matters
The pointing on a tiled roof plays a key role in sealing the ridge caps to the roof tiles underneath. Over time, harsh sun, wind, and rain can cause this material to crack and deteriorate, leading to leaks, loose tiles, and even structural issues. That’s why regular maintenance—like the service we provided in Taylors Lakes—is essential.
We used Flexi Point, a superior, flexible pointing compound designed to move with the roof’s natural expansion and contraction. Unlike traditional cement-based mortars, Flexi Point doesn’t crack easily and offers long-term durability, even in extreme weather.
Broken Tiles Replaced with Care
During our inspection, we identified several broken tiles that needed replacement. Cracked or damaged tiles are more than just a cosmetic issue—they can let water seep into the roof structure, leading to costly damage over time. We carefully matched and replaced the broken tiles to ensure a seamless look and watertight finish.
A Simple Job with Big Benefits
While this job in Taylors Lakes wasn’t a full replacement, it was just as important. By restoring the pointing and replacing damaged tiles, we’ve helped extend the life of the roof by many years, improving its resistance to the elements and maintaining its appearance.
